Summary

She had come every summer for twenty-nine years to stay at the Whale Inn. She knew all about the neighbourhood and the neighbourhood thought it knew all about her. So when Miss Olive Beadle arrives for her thirtieth season there is nothing to hint at disaster; nothing to suggest that death has arrived also; that soon, in circumstances that defy explanation, the quiet figure so long familiar will be found shot through the heart.
